Gordon Bell Prizes

The Gordon Bell Prizes recognize groundbreaking achievements for performance and scalability in several categories on genuine and specific scientific applications. In recent years, awards have been granted in four categories (not all are awarded every year):

Peak performance based on sustained floating point operations per second

Price per performance ratio measured in sustained flop/s per dollar of acquisition cost

Special accomplishment for innovation in scalable implementation

Scalability achieved through language constructs

This year the Gordon Bell Prize finalists will be presented in a separate track in the technical program.
